4 Installation Guidelines These precautions should be followed at all times. Failure to follow these precautions could result in injury to yourself and others. TO REDUCE RISK OF INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE UNIT: 1. Read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation. DO NOT proceed with installation and operation if you have any questions or do not understand anything in this manual. Contact your representative or the manufacturer first. 2. Remove the grill from the box. Once your grill has been removed from the packaging, be certain that all protective plastics and residues are removed from all surfaces. 3. Select a location for the grill that has a level, solid, non-skid surface that is nonflammable and away from water hazards or sinks, and is in a well-lit ventilated work area away from children and visitors. 4. Inspect the grill to ensure all parts have been provided. NOTE Local codes regarding installation vary greatly by area. The National Fire Protection Association, Inc, states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are "authority having jurisdiction" when it comes to requirements for installation of equipment. Therefore, installation should comply with all local codes. 5. The installation of the grill must conform to the NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AND ALL LOCAL ELECTRIC CODES AND ORDINANCES AND ALL THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL COMPANY RULES AND REGULATIONS. Additionally, we recommend that the grill is allowed a 4" spacing surrounding the unit in order to provide adequate ventilation. 6. Model EPG-1, EPG-2, ESG-1 and ESG V These panini/sandwich grills are wired to be used with a standard 120V/AC receptacle and may be plugged in any convenient outlet. This unit requires 15 amps to produce 1800 watts and should be used on a dedicated circuit. 7. Proper connections and power supply are essential for efficient performance. These electric panini/sandwich grills are equipped for the voltage indicated on the nameplate mounted on the rear of the unit. The panini/sandwich grill is designed for use on alternating current (AC) only. 8. Any external wiring should be in a conduit or an approved type of flexible cable suitable for operation at temperature indicated at the conduit hole, and in a proper size to carry the load. 9. The supply circuit should be properly fused and equipped with a means of disconnecting, as required by the local electrical code. For a grill with plugs and leads set, simply provide a suitable power outlet and connect. 10. : Use supply wire suitable for 1670F (750C) 11. : A suitable grease-collecting means must be in place before operating appliance. 12. Use copper aluminum wire for power supply connections. This equipment gets EXTREMELY HOT so make sure all flammable/combustible materials are set away from this equipment.

8 Operation Before operating grill, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Be sure the catch tray has been properly placed. Follow these same instructions for each grill of a two grill unit. Each grill operates independently and may be operated at different temperatures. Both the EPG-2 and ESG-2 require the use of two cords. Be sure to unplug both cords prior to moving, testing or repairing this product. Using a soft cloth, wipe away any oil that is covering the grill plates. This is only to protect parts during shipping. Turn heat to high to burn off the remaining oil. Allow approximately 30 minutes for grilling plates to heat up. Once the excess oil is burned away, use a grill stone or stainless steel brush to remove the burnt oil. NOTE Upon first use, grill may omit a metallic burning odor. This is normal and the odor will regress with use. Season the Surface All panini/sandwich grills have a cast iron cooking surface. Clean the cooking surface thoroughly. After the cooking surface has been thoroughly cleaned, it should be seasoned with vegetable oil to prevent food from sticking. Before each use, and after each use, thoroughly clean and season the cooking surface by heating the surface in the following manner: 1. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position and adjust the Temperature Control Dial (B) halfway between the 300 F and 400 F marks. The grill surface will be HOT! 2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin film of vegetable oil over the grill cooking surface. This film should remain on the hot grill for 30 minutes. 3. Carefully remove the excess oil and wipe clean. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3. The grill surface will be HOT! The grill surface is now ready for use. EVEN WITH PROPER SEASONING, FOOD MAY STICK TO THE GRILL COOKING SURFACE UNTIL THE GRILL PLATE IS "BROKEN IN". USE A MEDIUM-HARD STAINLESS STEEL BRUSH TO REMOVE REMAINING FOOD PIECES. Cooking 1. Turn the Power ON/OFF Switch (C) to the "ON" position. 2. Set the Thermostat Control Dial (B) at the desired temperature. 3. Temperature Ready Light (D) will remain on while heating to desired temperature. 4. When the desired temperature is reached, the Temperature Ready Light (D) will go off. 5. Using the Upper Grill Handle Bar (A), raise the top of the grill to expose the top of the grill plate. 6. Place the food product onto the grill. Using the Upper Grill Handle Bar (A), lower the Top Grill Plate (F) down onto the food product. 7. Grill to required doneness. 8. Raise the Top Grill Plate (F) using the Upper Grill Handle Bar (A) and remove the food item. Prepare as desired. 9. After each time the grill is loaded, it is recommended that excess grease and food particles are pushed into the Catch Tray (G) using a nylon bristle brush or coarse rag (DO NOT use steel bristle brush). If necessary, empty the grease from the Catch Tray (G) before you resume grilling.

9 The grill surface and grease will be HOT! Cleaning Instructions 1. ALWAYS unplug the grill before cleaning 2. DO NOT use any cleaning fluids that can be harmful to humans. 3. DO NOT hose down, immerse or pressure wash any part of the grill, excluding the catch tray. 4. NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool or abrasive material to clean the grill. 5. NEVER spray any type of cleaning solution directly onto unit. Spray on soft cloth and wipe unit clean. Always disconnect or unplug the electrical power from the grill before cleaning. x x Electrical Shock Hazard. Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause an electrical shock. Do not spray water or cleaning products. Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock. Do not use unit if power cord is damaged or has been modified. Recommended cleaning It takes very little time and effort to keep the grill clean and performing at top efficiency. If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then carbonize into a hard substance that is extremely difficult to remove. To prevent this condition, please follow the cleaning steps below: Part Required action Frequency Cast Iron Plates Scrape the grill with a scraper or flexible spatula to remove excess oil/fat and food. A catch tray is provided After Each Use for the scrapping. If there is an accumulation of burned fats and food, the grill should be thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned. Use pumice or grill stone, while the grill is warm, to remove excess fat and food. Do not use steel wool because of the danger of steel slivers getting into the food. Body Use a clean cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the grill. Daily Wipe the polished areas with a soft cloth. Avoid spraying any cleaner into the controls or switches of the unit. Controls Unit should be turned off when not in use. Daily It is recommended that the unit also be unplugged. Use a clean cloth to wipe down any controls and/or knobs Catch Tray Once the unit has cooled, remove the catch tray and discard the waste, debris and crumbs. Per Use : If the catch tray is permitted to fill too high, the excess grease will run out of the overflow hole or at least at the front of it. Daily The catch tray/drawer is removed by pulling forward. USE WHEN FILLED WITH HOT GREASE! The catch tray is dishwasher safe. 9
